Police Brutality: On the night of August 1, at a Whitehall, Ohio Walmart, Virginia Dodson could not remember why she was sitting alone in a car. Coming to grips with her enclosed environment, it dawned on her that she did not know how to unbuckle her seat belt either. Panic began to take hold. Her solution was to scrounge up a steak knife and cut through the straps, eventually finding her way into the confusing world of the parking lot, still wielding the blade. Virginia, an 84-year-old …
We do need to fight back when we see these things happen..tired of living in fear
hahahaha shut up!! do you live in mexico? that place is the worst…hahaha living in fear? hahaha
they were white….she was black….period….that was bad from the cops…
police are only aloud to use action if they are in danger…. its a fucking 84 year old woman!! jesus christ!!!!
I won’t be able to change anyones opinions on here. All of you demonizing this officer are just bitter people looking to blame officers and the government for any action they are FORCED to take. The situation is unfortunate and im sure unwanted by the officers. They have lives too. The old womans life is not more important than theirs. They asked her to drop the knife. She failed to comply. Other escalated force could have been an option. An officer gets hurt and noone cares.
You can’t taser an older person due to risk of heart failure. Not more humane. How would it appear if you sprayed her with OC? Would there be less complaining? There is no guiarantee to the effectiveness on spray on all people. I don’t agree with the officer closing distance on the lady with the knife in her hand but surely a higher level of force could have been legal administered but was not.
LOL… the fact that you have to mention you have an apartment in New York City and a woman means that you have neither.
dude, when a cop dies they have huge funerals, don’t say nobody cares. when a cop gets hurt it’s a HUGE FUCKING NEWS STORY
she had a knife? she not obey police? she could harm someone? TAKE HER FUKIN DOWN!! BLACK OR WHITE OR YELLOW OR WHATEVER, SHE MUST BE STOPPED. let`s not call the cop racist just because the woman is black.black or white we must follow the law!! a cop or a white guy can`t even touch in a black person without being called racist! c`mon people!we are not in the forties or sixties!forget those racist bullshits! by the way: MR. T FOR PRESIDEEEEEEENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck tha police!
I think when your that old, your ass needs a reminder evry once in a while of where your place is
dats racists yo dat be racist dat my gramamamoms yo yo dat am be brutality yo! seriously shut the fuck up it’s always got to be racist well it wasn’t… Dumb nigs and pull your pants up damn!
she was using a knife, regardless of color and age if someone points a knife to you, you going to take easy?
No, cops are right.
she had a knife… the cop did the right thing
i would of took her down too if she had a knife ! that officer was justified
I did not see her attack him with a knife… Instead he grabs her and slams her head on the ground. What the fuck is an 84 year old woman going to do with a knife?
slammed? She had a knife! They could have shot her! A knife goes between your ribs just as easy when an old lady is pushing it as a young man just not as deep and six inches is all it takes to kill you. Enough with the white/black crap, man that stuff is tired as hell.
lol old lady with a knife that is fucking hilarious
Put this stupid cops in Jail – for looong time !!
yaY!!!
it said it was not going to hurt her he slamed it head into the concreate and it was bleeding.
damm if all he had to do was take the walker away what does that say guys
i agree cops are right here, id slam her down if she had a knife you cant risk playing nice with that shit
She…should…have…dropped…the…knife. Cop told her, she refused, slam time.
Guess she should have shot her instead. Listen to all the stupid ass reactionary morons standing around screaming. She had a knife, she wouldn’t drop it, she got taken down as gently as possible. No matter what the police do..people will always bitch. Drop the knife when told to next time. Idiot.
